In the depth of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call 　21 　and love.

　　 I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did 　22 　the water. Any kind of 　23 　ride seemed to give him pleasure. 　24 　he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

　　 But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 　25 　the water, moving through it, 　26 　it all around me. I was not a strong 　27　 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 　28　 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 　29 　those summer days with my father, who 　30　 　come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 　31 　person not in swimsuit.

　　 After swimming, I would go 　32　 　his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 　33 　anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 　34　 　he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 　35 　. But my father always 　36 　and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s 　37　 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 　38　 　an ice cream…

　　 A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 　39 .” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 　40　 , in that childhood, look at us.
